The house next door to me is going up for sale soon and I’d like to delay that process as much as possible. What would be the most annoying music I could play when prospective buyers are next door?

Just play loud ass black metal. The music doesn't have to be bad, It just needs to scare normies.

Edit: I thought of the most annoying music ever. Crunkcore! Play some Blood on the Dancefloor and people will fuck off to avoid listening to that shit.

Not sure about annoying, but have you considered psyopus? It tends to be my goto to piss people off

Current value - tremor

Once described to me as "a song you can club someone to death with"

A low pitched hum that they don't even notice until they leave and appreciate the silence when they're away from it.

That would actually have the opposite impact where I live sadly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

See I think you're onto something. Playing music you consider abhorrent during a visit may actually increase the likelihood of ending up with a neighbor that enjoys said music. You either need to discover something universally repugnent or spy on the visitors and make a quick judgment call based on their appearance on what would repulse them better. Anyways fast tempo baby shark.

Also, you'll probably need eye bleach and a sanity check after a few times watching or listening to that.

I'll raise "Sales Call Abyss", a hold music made for torturing telemarketers if you have access to your work's phone exchange

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

For me, it has to do with context.

Upbeat pop music while heading to the finish line of a 5k? Pretty good.

Upbeat pop music while I'm waiting in the psychiatrist's office so I can tell them my life is spiraling out of control? Not preferable.

I dont know its Name, but there was once some phonk music in my local tech store that mostly just repeated β€žtoma toma toma” by the most annoying sounds in existence. Its cover was red. If anyone knows it, please tell me

There's a McDonald's down the block from me that plays nothing but Christian music all the damn time. I honestly feel bad for the employees.

Limburg Carnaval music. Hoompapa hoompapa…or Darude - Sandstorm on repeat.

When German people go to hell, or skiing, they are forced into little tents, served shitty overpriced beer, and are subject to repeated blows to their ears by a type of parasitic earworm whispered fearfully only in dark circles as "schlagermusik".

Once exposed to it, it eats into their brain and gets behind their eyeballs, forcing them to wear manic grins, and tap tables to the weak, incoherent, barely thought out beats drumming mercilessly into what's left of their soul.

Family member wants to buy it and we want to dissuade other potential buyers. Plus the old owners are dicks so fuck β€˜em.

They want to dissuade buyers by being a conspicuously noisy and annoying neighbor to the point that the house sits empty for a while.

Which, like, if your first thought is to do this, maybe you actually are an annoying neighbor and you're doing everyone a favor by letting them know.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

They are going to only get neighbors that also suck, and since it has to sell lower it will lower their own home value.

OP is really punching their own nutsack here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Hey at least they're open with it. I'd have love to have known that my neighbours were cunts before I'd move in. Sometimes a simple sign short of a burning poop bag is a nice olive branch.

But I love Lambchop!

It is a horrible earworm, very true.

Edit - Aww, not the Lambchop version.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I have a love-hate relationship with that song. I'll have to purge with a doco later, thanks! 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Someone went ahead of me and mentioned Nightcore, but I'll add any song by DJ KHALED would work too.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

I'm just going to say Nightcore.

I get that Nightcore has an audience, but what makes it annoying for me is when I am trying to search for an obscure song and think I've found it, only to realize that it's yet another low-effort nightcore remix.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The ice cream truck in my area plays the calliope version of β€œIt’s a Small World” every summer, every day, and I want to burn it all down when I hear it. Alternatively, you could plays sounds that are above the adult frequency of hearing if they have children. The kids will be super annoyed and the adults will have no idea it’s even happening. Look up the β€œmosquito tone”.

Every Christmas song ever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I submit that these songs aren't necessarily terrible but terribly overplayed to the point that they're painful.

I swear half of Mariah Carey's fortune is Christmas songs alone.

Also the whole "Boomers spent their entire lives and our entire lives trying to re-live their own childhood Christmases," since the majority of original Christmas songs are from that period.

Also some people love Christmas music so this could backfire.

I'm not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Thank you for this

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Exactly what I expected. Saved me from posting it, thank you.
